>I want to allow my users to install my .exe anywhere they want (c:\...,k:\..., m:\... etc.) and am wondering if I need to use a config.fpw to set the path for the data based on where they installed the .exe. If so, what should be included in the .fpw, and do I need to reference it on start up (how)? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If the data is installed at a different location than the exe, perhaps a method in the application object that will return the path based on an entry in an .ini or table would work.

If not, you can run an exe with a parameter. The parameter could tell the application where the data is. Config.fpw is used to set environment settings, such as EXCLUSIVE = OFF, you can have config.fpw run an external routine: COMMAND = myRoutine. There are a lot of ways to go, here.
